This book is so precious and I didn't want it to end!



I loved how August and Sophie both had best friends that provided encouragement but also set them straight when they needed it!



Another fantastic part of the story was that August and Sophie came together as they are producing an audiobook. This was such a fun part of the story that was so enjoyable.



Some of the relationships in the book were strained, which at times was difficult to read, but unfortunately a real part of life. The author handled these parts with such grace and honesty.



Portia was an amazing character and coming alongside of Sophie was so endearing.



The integration of the deaf community and ASL was extra meaningful to me as I am an aunt of nieces with cochlear implants. It gave me a lot to think about as they journey throughout life with hearing challenges.



I loved this book and can't wait to share it with friends and family.



Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

I love Nicole Deese's books, and her Fog Harbor series is particularly strong. This installment of Fog Harbor is no exception!

The ASL/deaf-community element was especially meaningful for me; I took ASL in elementary school and had several deaf friends--loved revisiting that and wishing I'd kept up with both ASL and the friends over the years. And diving into audiobooks and live theatre on top of that in this read was just fascinating!

Loved it--so so good. I do recommend reading the series in order, as there are references here to characters in other books; it's not mandatory but will certainly add to the reading experience.

I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

The Voice We Find by Nicole Deese is an inspirational Christian romance book. It is the third book in the Fog Harbor series but it can be read and fully enjoyed as a standalone. This is my best book of the series so far. I love how the title was expressed in several ways - music, acting, audiobook recording, ASL, etc and the several dimensions about dealing with trauma and how everyone came to find healing in God, love, communication and other relationships. I would have loved clearer descriptions of the traumatic issues, however, everything was satisfactorily resolved. The romance was also lovely.

I love Nicole Deese's writing. Each book makes me love and admire her skill and perspective even more. The Voice We Find drew me in right away and had my rooting for each character from the beginning. The story is evocative and poignant that kept me thinking during times I had to close the book and live life. Nicole Deese books get better and better. Plus I love the colors on the cover here.

The individuals in this story have problems that the reader can relate to one way or another. The book shows how easy it is to veer off track by misunderstanding each other or certain situations and how one’s upbringing can affect the course of your life. Especially when you convince yourself that God is to blame. As readers we have a front row seat as we watch the characters in a spiritual and mental battle in which they find their voice. Throughout the struggles, the author dispenses lots of wisdom for all of us to enjoy and take to heart. Favorite characters besides Sophie, definitely Portia and Gabby. Favorite lines, “Gabby’s expression says this idea is well past the thinking stage and fully in the add-to-cart stage”, “....I tell them I’m running late for work and take the coward’s way out”, “We were just finishing up a fashion consultation in here. Let me check where we are on that.” You have to admit, that sounds a whole lot better than saying that you’re giving your opinion on what clothes someone should wear. Favorite additional topic is definitely the author breaking a lance for ASL. Then there’s a suspenseful part as well! A book that’s entertaining but at the same time blesses your soul. Definitely worth the read!

#TheVoiceWeFind #NetGalley.

This is the third book in the fog harbor series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Sophie Wilder comes home to the family winnery after failing to make it on the theatrical stage. She wants to find a way to get out from under her overbearing brother's control.
August Tate is trying to pick up the pieces of his life after losing his parents in a tragic accident an accident that left his sister Gabby with partial hearing loss.
Three people are trying to find their voice. I loved everything about this Christian based romance novel.

I can always count on Deese for an emotionally satisfying work of Christian fiction -- and not just Christian in name only.

*Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an e-galley in exchange for an honest review.

One of Deese's very best. Excellent book, excellent weaving of themes. I loved so much about it, and the faith message brought me to tears. Highly recommend.

The Voice We Find is book 3 in the Fog Harbor romance series and features forgiveness, reconciliation and the search for belonging. I loved the focus on the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and the examination of what we need to do when facing overwhelming circumstances.

Ever felt a failure? Took a ‘settle-for’ job knowing it was just temporary? Then you’ll be rooting for Sophie Wilder when she returns home thinking she’s a failure but knows that there’s a flicker of an ember still left in her dream. Wanting to keep this acting dream alive, she applies for a position as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books.

Ever feel like you’ve got enough on your plate? Wonder why you’ve been saddled with so much responsibility? Just wished for ‘normal’? Then you’ll be rooting for August Tate as he struggles to keep his recording studio afloat and care for his hearing-impaired sister.

Deese captures readers’ attention with her rich, complex story centered around the value of community and fleshed out with intrigue, secrets and romance. I love the connection to the publishing house in each sequel and was delightfully surprised this time by her focus on a rarely highlighted part of our community. Deese explores the influence we have, the power of our faith and what it takes to put God first in our lives.

Deese reminds us that sometimes the answer to our prayers comes disguised as an ordinary gift on an ordinary day.

Psst, Nicole, I couldn’t find the part you rewrote SEVEN TIMES!
